 THE CHULLACHAQUI

The Chullachaqui is a
demon of small stature, who say they have seen him, they
maintain that he wears a large straw hat that hides a wrinkled
face, in which a prominent nose, pointed ears and red eyes
stand out. He is barely over a meter tall and wears very dirty
rags. Others say that he walks hunched over and with his feet
on one side. But the main characteristic, from which it derives
its name, refers to its feet: one is from a human and the other
from an animal, which could be deer, sajino, turtle, rooster,
etc).
The name of this malicious dwarf derives from two Quechua
words. Chulla; which means uneven or dissimilar. The other
word is Chaqui, which means; foot. What can be understood
as: Uneven Feet.
It inhabits the depths of the dense jungle of Iquitos, with the
ability to transmute into a child, a relative of the victim who
stalks or an acquaintance.
The Chullachaqui widely known in Madre de Dios, the jungle
part of Cuzco, Tingo María, Loreto, San Martín and Ucayali.
Also in Huánuco, where it is known by tsulla chaki which
means "one foot"; They say they get scared when you yell in
their ear, but you have to be calm while doing it. In other
regions of the Peruvian jungle, the duende is also known as:
"shapshico" and "ishingo".
He is considered Guardian of the forest; instills respect and
fear in friends and strangers. It is associated or related, often,
with the devil, in some variants, and in part, with demonic
beings. In addition, they say that it is not only one, but
several. In other beliefs, the Chullachaqui is believed to
originate from a relationship between a duende and a demon,
being a hybrid species between duende and demon.
It is generally presented to those who walk alone on the trails.
According to popular tradition, he sometimes presents
himself in a friendly manner and gives gifts from the Jungle,
as long as the person who receives them does not state the
origin of his good luck; other times he is aggressive. But,
usually, it only unleashes its aggression towards sinful,
corrupt or atheists.
It is said that the Chullachaqui steals the children to play with
them, but then returns them without hurting them. But for
others it is not like that, but these children if they disappear
and do not return again. There are those who affirm that these
children could be manipulated by the Chullachaqui, after
dying lost in the jungle.
But according to the inhabitants of Iquitos, he tends to
transform into anyone with the sole desire to make you lose
yourself deep in the jungle.

It can appear to you transformed into a relative of yours, or a

friend, it leads you down the wrong paths, heading through
the deepest part of the jungle, with the aim that you get lost,
left to your own devices.
For a child, the Chullachaqui will often appear as another
child or other playmate. Always with the aim of making them
get lost.
These actions are generally related to the disappearance of
children who are taken by the elf taking advantage of the
carelessness of their parents.

Children are abducted from their homes or from their parents'

work camps. In all the testimonies, the children are not
abused, but when they are found by the rescuers they show
attitudes of totally savage states. Later the children must be
treated by the healers or shamans, who eliminate the trance
state in which those affected are left.
The only way to discover the true identity of the Chullachaqui
is to look at his feet, as one of his feet is deformed and very
noticeable.

Consequently, he will try to hide his feet. Being discovered,

the Chullachaqui will escape into the jungle and disappear.
There are those who say; that uses some caves as a favorite
hiding place; and others that the lupuna tree uses to hide. The
lupuna tree is a mystical tree that some sorcerers use for their
sorcery.
Some witnesses, especially the elderly, tell stories of people
who have had the opportunity to converse with this being, in
times of old, when the jungle was really virgin and not like
now.
Said direct conversations corresponded to exhortations or
threats that the entity made to those contacted so that they do
not hunt the animals or cut down the trees, claiming to be the
owner of all the forest resources.
In some cases, the entity was generous with some of the
witnesses and guaranteed a supply of forest resources; In
other words, according to what he needed, he could provide
him with abundant and easy hunting products, "chiringa" or
"rubber" latex and fine wood trees that he could take
advantage of in the forest.
The Chullachaqui likes to physically and psychologically
mistreat his victims, when they invade what he considers his
territory and take advantage of what he calls his property.
According to these people, the "chullachaqui" is excited with
the desire to fight, and when he finds a victim he challenges
him to "fight."
Although these cases are very rare, there are statements by
women who state that they have been raped by this being
while they were alone in the forest. There are testimonies
from some cooks of certain
forest camps, who claim to have been sexually assaulted by
the chullachaqui.
Also some testimonies assure that the goblin likes to fall in
love with some women, to the point of becoming obsessed
with them.
Those who claim to have had contact with this being, directly
or indirectly, usually suffer from some symptoms after
contact: fever, headache, nausea and bodily discomfort.
The "chullachaqui" occupies a large part of the popular belief
of both rural and urban inhabitants of this Region. It is a
being that adopts certain characteristics of humans such as
lust, anger, selfishness, obsession, deception, kidnapping,
demand, flattery, infatuation and revenge.
